My friend, claudia79ad, are having an argument for the ages. And we need your help to settle it. We need you to decide who grows the better beard. Not who looks better with it but who can actually grow the most "successful" beard. There are three choices for you to vote on. Spread the word! I'm leaving this post open to all since she was afraid of my FList skewing the results. And don't ask me why we're having this discussion in the first place. It's too complicated to explain.

* Learned promotion results come out the same day I graduate* Watched Georgia Rule on DVD* Regretted it* Saw Get Smart yesterday* Busted a gut when friend Joy dropped an entire box of Lemonheads in the middle of the movie* Fought a cockroach in the bathroom last night with spray air freshener, a flip flop, and the cold water tap* Was forced to listen to the guy in the next room cough like he was trying to bring up a lung for 10 minutes* Did laundry

I want to giver everyone on my Flist BIG HUGS for all the wonderful things they've said lately. It really means a lot to me.

My speech went well today. Everyone had fun and my instructor said I didn't leave out anything and I didn't say "Uhm" that many times.

Today I learned about: how to make coffee filter butterflies, how different chess pieces move, how to speak some basic Filipino, how to construct a sentence in Spanish, how to make chocolate covered strawberries, and how to write basic HTML. That last one was fun because I kept throwing the other tags I know in.

I'm usually pretty easy going when it comes to fandom. I know everyone has different opinions and I know that's going to cause arguments. I usually only put my two cents out there when it's something that really riles me up. I'm pretty sure the last time I felt like this it was the stupid Smut Box.

But the shit I've been seeing over the past couple days is just wrong, spiteful, and mean.

I'm not going to call anyone out or name names. You know who you are. And I know this post probably won't sway you at all. And I'm not asking for that happen. You're entitled to your opinions. But right now you're going to hear mine.

What you've been doing isn't right and it's not doing the image people of have people in fandom any good. You're giving yourself and everyone else a black eye.

So could you please just drop it. We're all in this together. There isn't an "enemy" out there you need to destroy and drag through the mud.

It's just a show. They're just fictional characters. They're just actors.

That's all.

I just needed to air this out because it's been festering in my brain for awhile now. I won't be responding to pleas to know exactly what's going on so don't bother posting here asking for them. And I don't want anyone else posting the details here either. But I'm not turning off comments or screening them because we're all adults here. Right?

Dave has been trying to send me this picture from the email on his phone for a whole week. Today I finally just told him to send it from the same account but from his computer instead. And it showed up right away.

Anyway!

Here is the picture of my Smallville poster that Deb the realtor so carefully shot around when taking pictures of our house.
